Review of I Am Not Your Negro (2017) by Ronnie L — 21 Feb 2017
Not sure what to say. The films content is as important today as it was in 1963, '65 and '68. As a black man watching in a packed house of white people in a very white town I was taken on a roller coaster of emotions ranging from pride, to anger and sadness.
Sitting next to a white woman who seemed just as uncomfortable as images of racism and police brutality raced across the screen, I nor longer felt alone. The filmmaker in me felt confused by some of the transitions, but as a human being I chose to ignore this and soak in the knowledge.
The film ended with an emphatic punch while I sat there trying to process the last 90 minutes of my life as everyone else rose to give I Am Not Your Negro a standing ovation.
